No, this isn't a discussion thread. I'm going to be playing through the game again, so that there is no doubt as to which character is the "superior". We all have our opinions, and I'm probably the only person who believes in Kimahri, but this will provide definite proof. I'll be using standard sphere grid on the PAL version of the game.

You have to take into account their Grid paths as well. Auron gets beefed up with more strength in a shorter time than Kimahri does. Also, Kimahri is too much like a lackluster Tidus to ever be better than another character at one thing. He is always turns out to be average in two or three areas but never superior to another character in one.

However, all this is void if you just overtrain Kimahri before you get Auron.

Does it really matter who is superior to who? People have their own views this is true, so let it stay like that, you know in your mind Kimarhi is better, you've done your research, theres nothing wrong with that and to be fair you're proably not the only person who belives in Kimarhi, some would say Auron is better or perhaps people simply like that character because of their appearance, it really doesn't matter

If this isn't a discussion thread of any sort, I don't see the need for this to stay open.

Oh and, it's very clear that in the game, the characters are only unique in their Overdrives and the ability of their Celestial Weapons (if you use them that is). In that sense, its clear that Auron is far more useful than Kimahri. But in anycase, there's no need for another X vs Y thread.
